Linglong accompanied Mu Chenshuang as they left the Guanyin Temple, and couldn't help but ask, "Miss, that nun was amazing! She could even tell you were pregnant. But what did she mean by what she said later? Did she say that you would become the empress? What was the meaning of the first part of that sentence?"
That nun is incredibly skilled; she can tell a person's fate just by looking at their face and demeanor.
If Miss is indeed the Empress in the future, then who will be the Emperor? It is definitely not Crown Prince Xilan. The only one she can think of is Crown Prince Junheng. Could it be that Miss will really be with Crown Prince Junheng in the future?
Doesn't this mean that General Shen is truly out of the running?
Mu Chenshuang said calmly, "Everything is subject to change, and who can determine the fate of things with a single word?"
Even so, she still had some worries in her heart.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down. She decided to deal with the future later and didn't want to think about it now.
After leaving the Guanyin Temple, the two continued walking up the mountain. It was only a hundred meters to the top of the mountain. Linglong was panting heavily, but Mu Chenshuang remained calm and composed, as if walking on flat ground.
The scenery on the mountain was exceptionally breathtaking, with clear rivers, distant waterfalls, and blooming flowers as far as the eye could see.
Linglong excitedly ran forward, spread her arms, spun around twice, and said happily, "Miss, this place is so beautiful! I've been in Kyoto for so many years, and I've never seen such a beautiful view. It would be great if I could bring Qiye and the others here next time."
Mu Chenshuang slowly walked forward, sat on a stone stool, and took a deep breath of the green mountain air. Instantly, she felt exceptionally relaxed. Indeed, beautiful scenery makes it easy to forget one's troubles.
"It is indeed beautiful. I'm a little hungry now."
Upon hearing Mu Chenshuang's words, Linglong hurriedly stepped forward, opened the package, and took out some snacks and a water bottle.
Mu Chenshuang ate her snacks.
Seeing that her mistress was in a much better mood, Linglong asked, "Miss, I've actually had a question for a long time."
"What doubts?"
"Crown Prince Junheng knows that you are pregnant, carrying another man's child, but he still pesters you. Logically speaking, how could a high and mighty Crown Prince tolerate such a thing? Normally, he should sever ties with you, but Crown Prince Junheng doesn't seem to care at all. What is he after? Or is he just toying with you, getting you and then dumping you when he's tired of you?"
As Linglong finished speaking, her tone became panicked.
Unable to answer Linglong's question, Mu Chenshuang simply said, "Do you think I'm someone who's so easily fooled?"
Linglong looked at her young mistress, knowing that she was no longer someone who could be easily fooled.
"I'm just worried, what if Miss really falls in love?"
After all, Crown Prince Junheng is a prodigy, a figure surrounded by admirers. Which woman in the world wouldn't want to be noticed by him, or fall in love with him? It would be far too easy for her.
Mu Chenshuang slowly stood up, looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Why should I borrow the wind and moon from you? The green mountains and long rivers all love me. The beauty of the world is enough to dazzle the eyes. To be attached to love and affection is truly pitiful and lamentable."
As Mu Chenshuang spoke, she turned to look at Linglong, "So Linglong, you don't need to worry."
That one glance back left Linglong stunned and speechless. The young lady was truly a beauty found only in heaven and earth.
In that instant, she suddenly felt that no one was worthy of the young lady, and it was fine for the young lady to be beautiful on her own.
However, the weather on the mountain can change in an instant; what was originally a clear blue sky gradually turned into dark clouds.
"Let's go! It looks like it's going to rain."
Linglong hummed in agreement and stepped forward to support her.
The two walked down the mountain, but halfway down, the rain came suddenly. The mountain road was slippery in the rain, and Linglong had forgotten to bring an umbrella, so they had no choice but to take shelter under a big tree.
"The weather was fine, why did it suddenly start raining? I wonder how long it will last."
Linglong looked up at the sky and couldn't help but complain.
"Rain is nice too. Look at the rainforest in the mountains, it has a unique beauty."
Once you relax, everything seems beautiful.
However, at this time...
An unusually sharp aura swept in amidst the rain.
Mu Chenshuang's eyes narrowed instantly as she became alert to her surroundings. She gripped the soft sword at her waist, a sword she always carried with her when going out, in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
"Linglong, someone's here."
Mu Chenshuang lowered her voice to remind him.
Linglong was startled. Seeing her mistress's solemn expression, she became alert and looked around, the sound of rain pattering on the leaves filling her ears.
Sudden.
A dark figure flashed through the woods.
Mu Chenshuang gripped the sword hilt tighter.
After a long while.
These people don't seem to have any intention of attacking.
Mu Chenshuang said coldly, "Since you're here, why don't you show yourself? Do you want me to invite you all out?"
The cold, resonant voice pierced through the mountains and forests with a sharp, penetrating quality.
Immediately afterwards.
Several dark figures instantly appeared around Mu Chenshuang, and the men in black surrounded the two of them.
Linglong was startled. She leaned against Mu Chenshuang and looked around warily at the people around her.
Standing in front of Mu Chenshuang, the leading man in black stepped forward and said, "We do not wish to harm the princess. Please come with us."
